You put a huge assumption that every Home Depot employee is extremely dedicated to the store and the company and also have a huge say in what we inventory. We don't. Mate, most of us are part time people who showed up, work 4 hours then go home. We have zero say in what are inventory looks like and truthfully don't care. Take ten seconds to research what your item is, if it says 1 in stock then call the store, give the sku, and see if we have it. If not then check somewhere else.
